“…However, we could not find any significant difference in the user confidence rating. The above result is in line with several existing works [71] in the context that there is no difference in assessing the effectiveness of video games between IT students and non-IT students despite that the IT students are more exposed to technology. Meanwhile, We consider that the helpful functionalities differ from users since they have different mental models because the average score of Q8 differ.…”

Education in cybersecurity is crucial in the current society and it will be extended into the artificial intelligence (AI) area, called AI security, in the near future. Although many video games for education in cybersecurity have been designed, we have two problems for education in AI security: a helpful design of a video game for users to learn cybersecurity is still unclear and there is no game for AI security, to the best of our knowledge. In this paper, we design a video game for education in AI security, REN-A.I., to address the above problems. In designing REN-A.I., we built some hypotheses: simulating damage caused by attacks on AI and the effectiveness of their countermeasures through a video game helps a user to improve awareness of AI security with the episodic memory of the user itself. We focus on game scenarios and game functionalities to learn AI security with episodic memory in accordance with the above hypothesis. We conducted a questionnaire survey with 48 users to evaluate REN-A.I.. As a result, we confirm that both game scenarios and game functionalities are effective for learning with episodic memory. Specifically, 74% of users consider game scenarios effective, and 81% of users consider game functionalities effective. Our survey results have revealed two suggestions for beneficial design aspects in video games for education in cybersecurity. In particular, users who read game scenarios in REN-A.I. can learn AI security by the game more effectively than the other users. Furthermore, the functionality for accuracy deterioration due to attacks in REN-A.I. is effective even for users who do not read the game scenario. REN-A.I. is publicly available (https://www-infosec.ist.osaka-u.ac.jp/software/ren-ai/REN-AI(EN).html).

“…Furthermore, through interactions with the learners around them, they test and refine their own knowledge. Therefore, the integration of digital learning games is one of the promisingly positive aspects for improving the quality and effectiveness of higher education [1].

With the effects of the Internet and Education 4.0, online learning has increasingly become a common choice in higher education. However, despite some great characteristics of online learning (e.g., flexibility in learning), we cannot deny the role of traditional face-to-face learning, where the teaching content can be effectively delivered through direct communication between lecturers and learners. To leverage the advantages of these learning styles, numerous universities have been implementing the so-called blended learning as an innovating teaching method. Nevertheless, the teaching effectiveness of this method is still a big concern of educators (e.g., unattractive video contents in e-lessons). Meanwhile, recent studies have shown that teaching using digital games is more attractive than online learning alone since it can bring excitement and competitiveness to the learners. Therefore, in this study, we propose to build an educational game scenario that is adaptive to blended-learning environment. Thereby, the students will gain practical experiences while learning. In this approach, the students can play games and study together through either websites or mobile applications. The proposed blended learning approach as an innovating teaching method implemented soft-skills subject is being taught in a blended learning environment at Hanoi University of Science and Technology.

“…Academics highlight how important digital learning is to improving educational results and developing teaching technologies (Hsu, 2020). Additionally, it has been established that using interactive digital game-based instructional technology can improve student engagement and learning experiences (Huong & Cuong, 2021). All things considered, the incorporation of digital technologies into the teaching and learning process has the power to revolutionize the field of education by enhancing learning outcomes, motivation, and student involvement.…”

Digital technology has had a big impact on how teaching and learning are done in different areas of education. It has been demonstrated that incorporating educational technology into teaching and learning procedures improves their efficacy (Qurat-ul-Ain et al., 2019). According to Qurat-ul-Ain et al. (2019), it is essential for raising productivity, efficacy, and pedagogical advancements that are beneficial to education. Interactive learning experiences are made possible by educational technology, which offers new ideas and uses beyond simple digital resource storage and transfer (Tuma et al., 2021). Furthermore, by providing a variety of learning opportunities and encouraging co-creative thinking abilities, digital technologies have been shown to support collaborative creativity in language instruction (Sastre et al., 2022). Even while technology offers many advantages, there are still issues with how to integrate it into the classroom. According to several studies, it's critical that teacher educators act as role models and encourage educators to use technology (Matthew et al., 2002). Furthermore, emphasis has been placed on the role that educational leaders play in helping students acquire digital citizenship and technology use (Baydar, 2022). In order to maintain teaching and learning as the primary focus in the face of technological improvements, schools must establish technology leadership. (In Davies, 2010). Moreover, the integration of technology in education has been linked to favorable consequences, including expedited and effortless learning and the promotion of inclusive, sustainable education (Uygur et al., 2020). Divergent viewpoints exist about the efficaciousness of technology in education. While some contend that technology can augment learning, others maintain that specific domains of knowledge, such as physical education, cannot be satisfactorily imparted through technological means (Aprilo et al., 2023). All things considered, incorporating technology into education necessitates a thorough comprehension of both its possible advantages and disadvantages, highlighting the necessity of ongoing professional development and assistance for teachers (Karakaş & Hidiroğlu, 2022).
